Setup in the
Configuration Fixture
Perform the following procedures for setup of the packaged
cluster in the configuration fixture. This setup procedure
assumes the cluster will be configured in the fixture and then
transferred to another location.
WARNING: Do not stack clusters while in their
configuration fixtures. The stack can become unstable
and may tip over.
1 Installing Hardware Options
NOTE: Detailed option installation instructions are available with the
options and are also in the server setup and installation guide, the
server supplemental setup guide, and the storage system user guide
on the Documentation CD.
1. If internal server options (memory, processors, fans, and
expansion boards) need to be installed:
a. Remove the servers from the server fixture.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or
damage to the equipment, the server must be completely
removed from the server fixture to install the internal
server options. At least two people are required to lift the
servers during installation or removal.
b. Install the internal server options.
c. Replace the servers in the server fixture.
2. Install the external server options.
3. Install the external storage system options.
2 Cabling the System in the
Configuration Fixture
NOTE: The server fixture should be placed on top of the storage
system fixture for ease in cabling the packaged cluster.
1. Connect the VHDCI SCSI cables labeled A and B from the
storage system to the servers.
IMPORTANT: Save the protective covers on the cable connectors
for use when the packaged cluster is repacked.
2. If you are configuring a Microsoft or Linux operating
system, connect the Ethernet crossover cable between the
servers. Use the same RJ-45 connector (1), NIC 1, on each
server.
3. Connect the peripheral devices such as the keyboard,
mouse, and monitor. For information on peripheral device
connections, refer to "Component and LED Identification"
on this poster.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
damage to the equipment, do not plug telephone or
telecommunications connectors into RJ-45 connectors.
IMPORTANT: If the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition II (RILOE II)
board is installed in the server, be sure that you can attach the
video cable to the video connector on the rear of the RILOE II
board. The standard video connector on the server rear panel is
not used when the RILOE II board is installed. For more information,
refer to the HP Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition II User Guide on
the Documentation CD.
NOTE: If you are using a KVM switchbox, refer to the switchbox
documentation for detailed instructions.
4. Connect the power cords to the servers and storage system.
3 Powering On and Configuring
the Packaged Cluster
1. Power on the storage system (1) and wait for the controllers
to initialize.
IMPORTANT: You must power on the Smart Array Cluster Storage
system before powering on the servers. After powering on, wait
until the storage system startup complete message displays. It might
take up to two minutes for the system to completely power up.
2. Power on one server, (2) or (3).
IMPORTANT: Do not use the Option ROM Configuration for Arrays
(ORCA) utility to configure the Smart Array Cluster Storage. The
Array Configuration Utility must be used.
While the server boots, the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU)
and the ORCA utility are automatically configured to prepare
the server for the operating system installation. To configure
these utilities manually:
Press the F8 key when prompted during the array
controller initialization to configure the array controller
using ORCA.
Press the F9 key when prompted during the boot
process to change the server settings, such as the
settings for language and operating system, using
RBSU. The system is set up by default for the English
language and a Microsoft Windows 2000 installation.
For more information on the automatic configuration, refer to the
HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide located on the
Documentation CD.
3. Insert the SmartStart CD into the CD-ROM drive and reboot
the server. Follow the on-screen instructions to begin the
operating system installation process.
For more information on installing the operating system,
refer to the SmartStart installation poster included in the
ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack, the HP ProLiant DL380
Generation 3 Packaged Cluster Setup and Installation
Guide, or the operating system documentation.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second server.
5. Set up and verify the Smart Array Cluster Storage system
and cluster operations.
IMPORTANT: For detailed information on completing the cluster
setup, refer to the HP ProLiant DL380 Generation 3 Packaged
Cluster Setup and Installation Guide located on the Documentation
CD.
NOTE: Updated installation and cluster setup information is
periodically released in HP white papers. Go to
www.hp.com/servers/proliant/highavailability
for the most recent information.
4 Powering Down and Preparing
for Transfer
1. Shut down the operating system on each server and power
off each server.
2. Power off the storage system.
3. Remove the power cords and return them to the original
boxes.
4. Disconnect the VHDCI SCSI cables and the Ethernet
crossover cable from the servers.
5. Disconnect all other cables from the servers.
6. Replace the protective covers on the ends of the VHDCI
SCSI cables.
7. Secure the VHDCI SCSI cables and the Ethernet crossover
cable for transfer.
8. Repack the shipping components in their original
configuration. Refer to the exploded view diagram and
pictures on the packaged cluster poster as a guideline
for repacking.
Configuration is complete. The packaged cluster is ready
for transfer.
See other side of poster for setup and installation in a rack.
